What is a mobile shop website?
A mobile shop website is an online page showing what your shop has in stock, so a customer can look before they travel. Phoneo creates one for you from the inventory you are already maintaining — you do not build a website, design anything, or keep a second product list up to date.
Alongside it you get a QR code. Displayed at your counter, window or entrance, it takes a customer straight to your stock on their own phone.
Who is it for?
- Shops whose customers ask 'do you have this model?' before visiting
- Retailers with no online presence and no budget for one
- Shops promoting stock on Instagram, Facebook or WhatsApp
- Owners wanting walk-ins to be able to browse while they wait
The problem it solves
Most mobile shops are invisible online. A customer deciding where to buy looks at their phone first, and a shop with nothing to find is a shop that does not get considered.
Building a site separately means maintaining your stock twice — and the copy that gets forgotten is always the online one, which is worse than having no site at all.

Features in detail
Your personal website
The website is generated from your Phoneo account, so there is no design work and no separate hosting to arrange. It exists to do one job well: show a customer what you have, with enough detail that they know whether it is worth coming in.
QR code storefront
The QR code is the bridge between your counter and your catalog. A customer waiting in the shop can scan it and browse your full stock on their own phone, including the handsets that are not out on display.
It works just as well on the window, so somebody looking in after closing time can still see what you have.
Smart Catalog
Smart Catalog is how your inventory becomes something a customer can navigate. Products are sorted by brand, price, type or categories you define yourself, so a catalog of several hundred handsets stays browsable rather than becoming a wall of listings.
You can also create collections — a festival offer, a clearance group, a set of discounted models — which is the practical way to give slow-moving stock some visibility.
How your inventory appears online
The catalog is built from the stock you already keep in Phoneo, which is the part that makes it sustainable. A phone added to inventory can appear on your website with the images and details you recorded, and a phone that is sold stops being advertised — so customers are not shown stock you no longer have.
This is the reason the website and the inventory belong to the same system rather than being two jobs.
Sharing your website and social links
Your website link can be shared on WhatsApp and put anywhere your customers already look for you — most usefully in your Instagram profile, where a shop's audience tends to already be. You can also connect your Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp channel and Google Review links so the storefront points back at the rest of your presence.

Frequently asked questions
What is a mobile shop website?
It is an online page showing what your shop has in stock. Phoneo creates one from your existing inventory, so you do not have to build a site or maintain a separate product list.
What is Smart Catalog?
Smart Catalog organises your inventory into categories and collections — by brand, price, type or your own groupings — so customers can browse a large stock list easily.
Do I need technical knowledge to set it up?
No. The website is created from your Phoneo account and configured through settings — there is no coding or design work involved.
How does my inventory appear online?
Products come from the stock you already keep in Phoneo, along with the images and details you recorded against them.
Can I show both new and second-hand phones?
Yes. New handsets, used devices and accessories can all be displayed.
How do customers reach my website?
They can scan the QR code displayed in your shop, or open the link you share on WhatsApp, Instagram or other social platforms.
Can I add my social media and review links?
Yes. Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp channel and Google Review links can be connected to your storefront.
